Points are earned through two ways: winning battles in the Season Battle Tower, and capturing Pokémon in the wild. | |||
===Season Battle Tower=== | ===Season Battle Tower=== | ||
The | The Season Battle Tower is a place for players to battle randomly generated computer-controlled opponents. It can be found in the menu under '''Battles → Season Battle Tower'''. The number of battles won, and the experience received from winning battles, contribute towards the player's seasonal points. | ||
'''''Note:''' Battles and experience gained through any other method (defeating wild Pokémon, gyms, other users, etc.) will not count towards the player's seasonal battle count.'' | |||
===Capturing Pokémon=== | |||
[[File:Season Caught.png|thumb|A wild Pokémon marked with a Pokéball and a green plus, indicating one has already been caught this season]] | |||
Catching Pokémon in the wild during the season increases the player's seasonal points. Each unique Pokémon caught, and the experience received from the catch, will contribute to the player's total and average season experience. | |||
Catching Pokémon during the season | |||
If a player has already caught a certain Pokémon during the current season, a green plus will appear next to the Pokéball when encountered. Catching a duplicate Pokémon will still add to a player's points, though at a slower rate than if it was unique. | |||
Training Pokémon caught during the season will not increase seasonal points — only experience at the time of capture is used (and battles outside the Battle Tower do not count), unless the player's intent is to evolve it into another unique Pokémon. | |||
'''''Note:''' | '''''Note:''' Pokémon obtained through any other method (trading or purchasing through [[PokéBay]]) will not contribute to the number of Pokémon caught during the season.'' | ||

To start receiving points, players must capture at least one Pokémon ''and'' have at least two Battle Tower wins (not one, as <code>ln(1)</code> is still zero). Since <code>√x</code> increases faster than <code>ln(x)</code>, capturing unique Pokémon has a greater impact on seasonal points than completing battles, especially at larger numbers. | To start receiving points, players must capture at least one Pokémon ''and'' have at least two Battle Tower wins (not one, as <code>ln(1)</code> is still zero).
